Bergen County Sheriff's Officer Rob Mantone was stopped at a light on a Route 17 overpass near the Fiesta in Wood-Ridge, New Jersey on Sunday when a black Escalade pulled up alongside his patrol vehicle and the passenger coaxed him to roll down his window.

"Justin."

"Justin Bieber?"

The 22-year-old Canadian pop star had just landed at Teterboro Airport in advance of a trio of area shows -- at the Barclay Center on Wednesday and Thursday, and at the Prudential Center in Newark on Sunday -- after attending his father's engagement party in Toronto.
